Bluescape
Chose Bluescape
I've only used the Google one and the Microsoft one, and those have pretty limited features in comparison. The canvas size being huge is a great asset to me because nothing sucks more than when you literally can't fit your ideas on the canvas. Also the speed it updates and how …
Chose Bluescape
We have Workware installed on different computers in our office that were supposed to be great for presentation but we had issues after a user connected their laptop then they no longer had access to our server. If they had files they needed for the presentation they had to …
Stormboard
Chose Stormboard
It's equal to the majority of others on offer, however, the simplicity of these products is what makes them attractive. Sometimes you don't want a product to do many tasks, only to be good at the one they were designed for
Chose Stormboard
I use Stormboard for coordination because it seems easier to use than the rest. In terms of courses, we choose the software depending on our course objectives and how tech-savvy we believe the prof and audience are. Miro is more complete, I believe, it has a ton of features and …
Chose Stormboard
I think the number one argument for Stormboard is the reporting functionality. These various ways of exporting the results of the collaboration in the desired format are something that I have not seen from other tools yet. It really helps to sort and gather the different …
Chose Stormboard
Stromboard is filled with great numbers of sticky notes and shapes and featured for different kinds of collaboration. It has various integration with Windows, Microsoft flow, MS Teams, and OneDrive which allows users to do much more than just whiteboarding but also to open, …
Chose Stormboard
When compared to Mural, Stormboard has a less modern user interface. On the other hand, they stand out with their trial program, which is very intuitive and well constructed. They also have a better price for small teams, which made a difference in the buying process.
Chose Stormboard
Monday is great for tasks but it does not have a brainstorming feature like the use of the whiteboard found in Stormboard. Being able to create, think and drum p new strategies is super powerful. Then to be able to put those ideas into motion is where Stormboard excels past the …
Chose Stormboard
Even though they do basically the same thing, and ActiveCollab has a few features that Stormboard does not, we went with Stormboard because, in our test cases, it performed better and gave us more options and ways of integrating it into our work flow. ActiveCollab is an …

This digital version of a pin-up space is absolutely an improvement to my workflow. The input is so robust. What you do with it is where the magic happens. This program is best suited for team collaboration. It helps to discuss how/where the team will contribute information to it--whether that is discussing the templates or a plan of action. Otherwise, the workspace can tend to get messy. I like the idea of having a presentation mode, where some of the markups could be hidden. The idea of a working session with consultants or clients sounds appealing, but at the same time, there is a desire for a cleaned up, clear shareout.

If you need to have control over your meetings and get everyone on board with their requirements and responsibilities, and track how far along everyone is, Stormboard will help you a lot. The problem with not having integration with SalesForce and ZenDesk is that you need to add all the information for each supplier or client, instead of having the system pull it from the other systems we use. Other than that, and the fact that the mobile app is limited, this is the best option for meeting management and follow up.

Pros
  • We have uploaded Ceros, PowerPoint, renderings and website links to our wall for new client presentations and they are always impressed with the technology.
  • Ceros is a pretty robust program that has links and different touch points and customers love clicking and scrolling through information posted.
  • We use one wall to post all of our customer boards so we can quickly jump into a different board and show new ideas or companies that we have done business with with a few quick swipes.

  • Task generation from elements
  • Report generation for subsequent processing of collaboration results
  • Sign up flow
  • Invite Users and various ways to share access

Cons
  • Chat function is less than ideal. It is easy to lose track of a conversation or a comment. We find making comments on the workspace turns out to be more effective.
  • Mentions--it would be nice to be able to assign groups within the people added to the workspace. Sometimes it'd be nice to do a quick mention with out having to do @everyone or type several names in (@person1, @person 2, etc.)
  • Infinite scalability

  • Sometimes difficult to find items on the board if they're not in the centre
  • Zooming in and out can often mean things get overlooked
  • Occasionally uploaded documents vanish

Stromboard is filled with great numbers of sticky notes and shapes and featured for different kinds of collaboration. It has various integration with Windows, Microsoft flow, MS Teams, and OneDrive which allows users to do much more than just whiteboarding but also to open, create and save the documents. It can add images, links, drawings, documents, and much more.
